For me it would be pretty easy, and it looks like it might be easy for
everyone else in version 1.1, Matthew is restoring the 'Optionresponse
Analysis' mode and it looks like this could be fairly easily modified
to work for surveys output.

In 1.0 survey mode, every submission counts as a try, and the problem by
default gets marked as 'ungraded_attempted'

You can use SPRS to give these students points, or use CHRT and
postprocessing to award points to anyone with tries.

You could also use PGRD, to grade everyone at once and mark all users
with tries as having it correct.

1.1 might possibly allow you to do this.
